Claims17
A computer-implemented method of waste collection from a dumpster having a main body into which garbage is inserted and a fill-level sensor that determines an amount of garbage in the dumpster and transmits a signal when the amount of garbage reaches a threshold, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer, a fill-level of the dumpster;
- calculating, by the computer, a waste volume of the dumpster by multiplying a size of the dumpster and the fill-level of the dumpster;
- determining, by the computer, a waste type of the garbage in the dumpster;
- determining, by the computer, a slope based on the size of the dumpster;
- determining, by the computer, a starting price for the waste collection based on at least one of the waste volume, the waste type and the slope;
- and
- providing, by the computer, a process for a hauler truck to carry out the waste collection, the process including
- transmitting, by the computer, a signal containing the starting price to one or more computing devices, including a computing device of a hauler,
- receiving, by the computer, a signal containing a price from said computing device,
- selecting, by the computer, said price, and
- transmitting a collection request to said computing device to carry out the waste collection.
A system for waste collection from a garbage compactor bin, the system comprising:
- a system memory;
- a processor;
- and
- a bus that couples the system memory to the processor,
- wherein the system is located in the garbage compactor bin, and
- wherein the system memory comprises computer executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, carry out:
- receiving, by the processor, a fill-level of the garbage compactor bin;
- calculating, by the processor, a waste volume of the garbage compactor bin by multiplying a size of the bind and a fill-level of the garbage compactor bin;
- determining, by the processor, a waste type of garbage in the garbage compactor bin;
- determining, by the processor, a slope based on the size of the garbage compactor bin;
- determining, by the processor, a starting price for the waste collection based on at least one of the waste volume, the waste type and the slope;
- and
- providing, by the processor, a process for a hauler truck to carry out the waste collection, the process including
- transmitting, by the system, a signal containing the starting price to one or more computing devices, including a computing device of a hauler,
- receiving, by the system, a signal containing a price from said computing device,
- selecting, by the processor, said price, and,
- transmitting a collection request to said computing device to carry out the waste collection.
